Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house. Per St Johns County regulations, only ten people are allowed per rental, not counting children 12-years-old or younger. That means this property is allowed up to 10 adults and the rest of the guests must be 12 and under. Important info about pool heating and fees: Both the spa and the pool will be at the same temperature if you choose to heat the pool because they share the same plumbing and heater. Most people prefer a heated spa in colder temperatures to a heated pool because the spa is set to 101 degrees and the pool heater would be set to 85 degrees. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. The heating of the spa is included with your stay. If you want to heat the entire pool we have an additional heating fee of $199 plus $25 per night to maintain the temperature. If you arrive at the house and change your mind about the pool heating, the initial heating fee of $199 will not be refunded. Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled. The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern. EV Charging: There is a fee of $5 per day if you will be charging an electric vehicle at the home.

We just spent the week of Christmas at the Lighthouse Beach Retreat....6 adults, 1 toddler, 1 baby, 2 dogs and a partridge in a pear tree (just kidding about the last part). The property is very clean, super spacious, comfortable and has all the things that you need to just show up, unpack and get the vacay started! Plenty of bedrooms and we loved the two separate living areas. The fire pit and heated spa were a huge hit and enjoyed immensely. The location is wonderful! The neighborhood is very quiet and the beach (and a great park for the kids) is within a short walking distance. It's a quick drive to Publix, putt putt golf and St. Augustine. David and Patti are superb hosts! Excellent communication, quick to respond to questions, detailed and easy to follow instructions. This property was just perfect for our family! A+++ Highly recommend.

Perfect!! Water pressure for showers was wonderful. Most places have bad water pressure, but not this house. Owners were very informative with information related to the home. House is very spacious. Close to the beach, close to attractions, and a quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend this home. ❤️

Lots of space, comfortable beds and seating. The weather wasn't very cooperative, but the pool and spa made up for it! Very quiet neighborhood, short and pleasant walk to the beach. Owner was very responsive and available. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet beach getaway! Thanks for sharing your home!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is very nice and spacious. It is a beautiful, clean home in quiet neighborhood. There was plenty of bedroom and sitting areas for everyone. The kitchen had all the cookware and utensils that we needed for the simple meals we cooked during our stay.
We didn’t have to go very far to get to the beach. It was nice to just have a quick trip there and back. The pool and spa were great. The video about how to use them were very helpful. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the pool. I think they would have been happy to spend the whole time there.
The host was helpful and easy to communicate with. They let us know everything we needed, including when the pool tech would be coming.
This house was as described in the listing. It met our expectations and exceeded them. We would recommend this house to others looking for a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay while visiting this area!

We had all our grown kids and 2 granddaughters together for a week so we decided to rent a beach house and have some fun! It was the perfect place for all of us (10 adults 2 children) We had PLENTY of room and the pool was perfect. It even had a shallow area for the kids! So nice! It’s where we spent most of our time. The rooms were big and beds were comfortable. It’s super easy to get ahold of the host if you need anything. The neighbors were the NICEST people. We live close by and will most likely use this property again in the future.

This house was exactly what we needed for 10 adults and 5 kids. There are 6 bedrooms and two of them have multiple beds. There is also a pull out couch in the family room. The pool and hot tub were perfect for the kids and adults. The location of the house makes for a 7 minute walk straight to a beautiful beach access that allows 4 wheel vehicles to park on. Basically, the house and location couldn’t be any better. The only thing I would advise for future renters would be to make sure you bring any essentials that you need. Paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish detergent, ziplock bags, ice, and any and all toiletries. The renters are upfront about these being in short supply, but the house is basically missing all of these items. Still, other than needing those items, the place is perfect for a big family beach vacation.

The house was great for us with the number of bedrooms. The house is spacious with a game room that worked out well for our 12 year old grandson. The grandkids really loved the pool. It was clean and very shaded which worked great for our two redheads. The Florida sun can be brutal in July! We loved driving on the beach which was a new experience. Nice quiet neighborhood near St. Augustine. The only complaint we had was there was not enough silverware to make it through the day if we cooked three meals. Beds are comfortable and we would highly recommend for a family with children.

Very clean big house within walking distance to the beach. We stayed for a week and spent time walking to the beach, hanging out at the pool and riding the bikes we rented locally. The house was the perfect size - big enough for 6 adults, 1 i year old and a baby. We all had plenty of room to spread out or to have a game night in the dining room. The backyard was a huge plus with green space, a pool and a jacuzzi. Very clean and the owners were very responsive and helpful.

The home was very accommodating for a family of 10 celebrating a college graduation for my niece. Pool, spa and fire pit were great. Plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen was wonderful for cooking. Would suggest a better grill for outside as that was not very good to cook hamburgers and such. All in all it was a wonderful stay and the owners access for communication was awesome.

Easy check in/check out. The house presented as displayed on VRBO. Spacious, clean and perfect location to get some rest and relaxation. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need. The pool and spa were beautiful. Located near the beach, the walk was short. We had an opportunity to view a SpaceX launch from the beach. The view was excellent under the moonlit sky. We would definitely recommend this property. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!!

This was the perfect house for our family. Many bedrooms and a fantastic backyard with pool, hot tub and fire pit. Weather was sunny and 80 all week so we spent lots of time at the pool and at the beach/ocean which was a short walk away. Everything was well maintained and owner was easily accessible for questions. All appliances seemed new and worked well for all of our cooking and laundry. Quiet neighborhood was nice for riding bikes that we rented. Overall a fantastic week and experience at this VRBO rental!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We have stayed at several homes that we found on VRBO, sometimes the homes do not quite live up to our expectations based on the photos and description. This wonderful home exceeded our expectations, the kitchen is large and well stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans, dishes and glass wear. The house was very clean, and all of the beds seemed to be very comfortable.
The neighborhood was quiet, but if you take a short walk, just a few blocks, you reach A1A where there is a nice crosswalk that allows you to cross the road safely . Once you cross , there is a beautiful sandy beach . While we were there the beach was pretty quiet which was great!! Back at the house is the swimming pool…. Awesome! The pool was very clean, pretty big and there is lots of privacy. We opted to have the pool heated instead of the hot tub, and in my opinion, it was well worth the small up charge. The only problem we had is that we only stayed for one week, next year we will try and book it for two weeks!
Thank you

Great house with plenty of room for the 9 of us. David and Patti were responsive, helpful, and friendly. Kids loved the pool and beach. Fantastic location: short walk to the beach or Redfrog and McToads or the awesome Paladar Cuban Eatery & Bakery. And a short drive to St. Augustine for supplies, history, and shopping. I did not want to leave.

Literally anything you'd want from a vacation rental. A beautiful clean home and a quiet neighborhood. We would have loved to stay longer just to enjoy the house more. We'd love to come back if the opportunity comes.

The house was beautiful! Great location. David was the best. I would definitely recommend the house and I hope to stay there again. The pool, hot tub and patio was absolutely amazing! Everything was clean and very neat. We had a short walk to the beach and was conveniently located to all shopping and restaurants. It was definitely one of our best trips!

Unfortunately we had the worst experience. The place is dirty and not well maintained. Roaches everywhere and they were huge. Hot tub is broken and full of mildew. Dishwasher was also broken and when we notified the owner his response was to send to a sponge and dish soap. Ironing board is provided but not the iron machine. The outside fire pit was full of garbage and water, we had to clean it to be able to use it. The pool is freezing cold and dirty, mildew smell is pretty strong. On checkout day the cleaning crew came at 9:15 and started rushing us to leave the house (checkout is at 10) . Overall was a bad experience and we will never come back.

House was very spacious with room for the family. Our family travels every year for a week long vacation and this house was perfect. Lots of upgrades, clean, and everything we needed for our stay. Beach is just a short walk away and house was close to restaurants. We enjoyed the pool every day and loved the new outdoor firepit. This is the first time we got to make s’mores at the beach.
David was very responsive and made sure everything was good for us.
Would highly recommend this place and hope to return sometime.

Family Vacation 2022
The property (New Lighthouse) was overall a good fit for our 14 people family stay including the children. Upon arrival getting in was exactly as communicated and close to the beach as it was roughly 8 minute walk. What we loved was there was a crossing for pedestrians to cross main road and utilizing caution light button so that we were safe crossing road. We loved the amount of rooms and beds as it was very accommodating for our family. We loved the pool as it was very utilized during hottest part of the day that we were not at beach. Although the pool was very dirty when we arrived and we had to clean it ourselves as we checked in on a Wednesday and pool cleaner did not arrive until Friday which was his weekly schedule. The spa was very utilized by the adults but we didnt like that we paid a heating charge for the spa and it was only set at 81 degrees but that is communicated in the contract. I wish i would have caught that and would have opted out on the heating of the pool / spa. I loved that i was able to communicate with the property owner and he was very quick to respond. We loved that the kitchen had everything we needed such as cook ware and appliances as we grocery shopped and cooked daily during our stay. Everything worked except the ice maker on the fridge as we used jugs to put ice water in to take to the beach with us and we had to buy ice due the ice maker not working and the owner may not know that and i wished i had communicated that. The community is very quiet and relaxing as we enjoyed walks around the community as well. Overall we were satisfied with our stay and we will definitely consider staying at this property again in the future. Thank you!

This property is in a quiet residential area so it was perfect for our family. White sandy beach is walking distance! If you have small kiddies, recommend bringing board games to keep them from going up and down stairs..can get quite noisy. No board games, no fear! House has a pool! Perfect for cooling off from your adventures in St. Augustine! My parents loved the upstairs area that has a bedroom with a separate living room like space. Gave them opportunity to rest in a more peaceful and private setting. Honestly was good place to stay but did lack extras/amenities but not a big deal for us, we brought everything but the kitchen sink with us. Definitely recommend this property!

Perfect home and location
Thank you David and Patti for being such great hosts! The size and location of your home was perfect for our large party of 14 to enjoy while we were in town for our Easter wedding on the beach. The kids enjoyed the pool and we spent a lot of time gathered in the kitchen area. Rooms are nice and large. Beautiful neighborhood!
Short walk to the beach and extra parking at the park is very convenient. Thank you for everything! Hopefully we will see you again next year😁

I could write a book. But the site won’t let me write a long one.
I’ll sum it up. Sand in my sheets. You can’t control the AC, the owner does from his house. Wi-Fi didn’t work which the tv runs off off. So there was no TV. Upstairs balcony in master is dangerous and you could fall eight through it. They were rotted and the boards that were decent you could lift up with your hand as they were not fastened. Mold on and in the spa. Pool was filthy. Trash and cigarette butts all in the back yard. Grill waste basket filled to the top from other guests. Security fence for the pool was broken and fell which was a major for us because we had little ones with us. Washer sounded like a freight train, we had to wash our towels that were used per their rule…so we turned it off.
I contacted the owner via email after my trip that was spent over 1k for just two nights.
He has yet to contact me to resolve any issues or compensation.
Very sad as this property has great potential. Clearly they do not care about the cleanliness or safety for their guests.
Find another place to stay.

This was a very roomy, spacious house, and can fit plenty of family/friends! Three floors, which allows groups to spread out and occupy multiple rooms at once! Very comfy!
